FAQ

Why use a tubular tire for cobbled classics racing?

Tubulars can be run at lower pressures without the rim-flat risk of clinchers, which improves comfort and traction on cobbles. They also provide a more supple ride feel and have no pinch-flat risk. The Sprinter is built specifically for the demands of hard cobblestone roads where durability and compliance matter.

What rims are required for tubular tires?

Tubular tires require dedicated tubular rims with a flat or concave bed for gluing. They are not compatible with clincher or hookless tubeless rims. The tire is attached using tubular glue or double-sided tape.

Is the Sprinter difficult to mount and repair in the field?

Mounting requires proper gluing with curing time, so it is not a quick trailside task. Field repair means swapping to a pre-glued spare tubular. This is standard practice for tubular racing. Most racers carry a pre-glued spare on the race wheel.

Best For

Road racers and cyclocross riders running dedicated tubular wheels who want a proven, supple racing tire for cobblestone, hard road, and high-speed course conditions.
